Kathryn Stanley as Salome (1926, photo by Edwin Hesser) “Thou rejectedest me. Thou didst speak evil words against me. Thou didst bear thyself toward me as to a harlot, to me, Salome, daughter of Herodias, Princess of Judaea!  Well, I still live, but thou art dead, and thy head belongs to me.” -Oscar Wilde, Salome
